C Prodigy, Kr0nus, The Old Ninja, and Your Boy Blue pull up for another one — Stitch sits this episode out. This week: a tribute to Dennis Haskins (Mr. Belding) and a detour into how child-actor labor laws shaped shows like Saved by the Bell, plus how often teens get cast as "adults" on screen. That rolls into a frank talk about nudity and adult content norms on TV — Green Lantern, Oz, and Watchmen all get name-checked, with a deep dive on Oz specifically. On the nerd side: a critical look at the Injustice comics and animated movie, a long, nostalgic breakdown of Netflix's A Different World reboot (HBCU pride, the set design, the fashion, the theme song's history), and a full rundown of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run. Gaming talk covers the Witcher 3 remaster and the gap between the Final Fantasy VI and VII remake treatments. The crew doesn't shy away from the heavy stuff this episode — a candid conversation about race and representation (sparked by Kr0nus's shirt), gas prices and the politics behind them, immigration enforcement and detention conditions in the U.S., and a global look at resource scarcity and rising international tension. That includes a measured discussion of an Iranian singer's sentencing and why the crew pushes back on using stories like that to claim moral high ground while similar issues go unaddressed at home. They also touch on the Cornell fraternity assault case as part of a broader conversation about accountability. Lighter stuff to close it out: Kr0nus shows off his new 3D printer (dragons, articulating cats, a working fidget spinner, and more), Your Boy Blue recaps a Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure trip (shoutout to the Stardust dueling coasters and the live-action Bourne-style stunt show), and the group trades movie and TV recommendations — the horror-comedy They Will Kill You, a Mahershala Ali revenge thriller, and HBO's Lanterns. Personal updates round things out: travel plans, a completed round of therapy, Battlefield 6 talk (including Halloween Dead Space crossover rumors), and more.

In this episode, Randall covers the latest developments across the HBCU community, including a significant update on Kentucky State basketball player Aminata Seck's ongoing ICE detention and hospitalization, Michael Jordan and the Jordan Brand's $1 million investment in the new Morehouse Multimedia Center, and North Carolina A&T's historic first-ever win over a ranked FCS opponent with their upset victory over Rhode Island. He also shares his thoughts on Netflix's A Different World sequel series and teases a full review coming soon. Randall then sits down with former Texas volleyball star Haley Eckerman, the architect behind Team Dream — the 12-woman, all-Black roster that went 7-0 and won the 2018 USA Volleyball Open National Championship. Together, they discuss the inception of the team, the challenges of assembling and competing with just one practice, the gritty comeback in the semifinals, and the now-iconic "Swag Surfin'" celebration that followed their championship win. Eckerman also opens up about the barriers to access in volleyball for Black athletes, how the Team Dream experience shapes her coaching at Kent State, and why the new OWN documentary "We Belong Here: The Story of Team Dream" — directed by North Carolina Central alumna Bianca Barnes Williams — is about far more than just sports.

What happens when we intentionally give our children a connection to Black history, culture, music, and community? Host Shanera Williamson sits down with educator, author, and founder Claudia Walker for a conversation about the many ways we can help Black children know who they are and understand the richness of where they come from. Claudia first joined the Brown Mama Bear Podcast to talk about her book The ABCs of HBCUs. Now, she's back—and a lot has changed. She's the mother of an HBCU student, the author of The ABCs of R&B, and the founder of the rapidly growing Black Parent Group Chat. Shanera and Claudia talk about why Black music is so much more than entertainment—and how R&B can become a bridge between generations. They talk about Claudia's work with HBCU Prep School, what it means to send your own child to an HBCU, and why Black parents should intentionally introduce their children to the full range of HBCU possibilities. They also talk about the Black Parent Group Chat, what Claudia has learned from connecting with thousands of Black parents, and the common threads that connect families raising Black children in very different communities and educational environments. This is a conversation about culture, education, motherhood, HBCUs, and the responsibility—and privilege—we have to pass something meaningful on to the next generation. Come sit with us. Can We Talk?

Okorie Ramsey built a legacy statement around six words: "To live a life that mattered." As Vice President of Sarbanes-Oxley at Kaiser Permanente and the first African American male to chair the AICPA, he's spent his career turning that philosophy into action. He launched the National Pipeline Advisory Group, grew accounting enrollment for three straight years, and brought HBCU students into the profession through the Balance Sheet Bash, among many, many other contributions. On Episode 288 of The Unique CPA, Randy and Okorie dig into the AI governance gap threatening the profession's role as trusted advisors, why the next generation of accountants needs more than technical skills to thrive, and what it means for seasoned leaders to shift from doing the work to pouring knowledge into those coming behind them. Okorie is also blunt about leaders who treat AI as someone else's problem, as well as about the point where staying in a role you've outgrown becomes its own kind of comfort and complacency.

This Friday episode has everything. Bishop Marvin Sapp kicks things off with a prayer that sets the tone, but the news quickly turns heavy with the mysterious death of 18-year-old Nolan Wells. New autopsy findings show no water in his lungs or stomach — yet a grand jury ruled it a drowning. Rickey goes off comparing the case to Emmett Till, and civil rights attorney Ben Crump joins the show to break down the Snapchat evidence, the blunt force trauma to the back of Nolan's head, and why this case could be a defining moment in the fight for Black justice under the Trump administration. Meanwhile, Gary With The Tea brings the fire: LeBron James' manager Maverick Carter is in court trying to zero out his child support, and an email he sent to his ex has the whole internet talking.

This episode of the Reading With Your Kids Podcast is a joyful celebration of music, memory, and intergenerational connection, featuring two fantastic creators: Shadra Strickland and Celina Frenn. In the first half, Jed chats with Shadra about her vibrant new picture book, Here Comes the Band, a tribute to HBCU marching band culture. Shadra shares her own background in Atlanta's band scene and describes the electrifying energy of halftime shows—the booming bass drums, sizzling cymbals, sequined dancers, and jaw-dropping pageantry that make the band the real main event. She talks about working with illustrator John Holyfield, whose fluid, movement-filled art captures the musicality of the text, and reflects on how she had to "unlearn" some of her formal art training to rediscover play, joy, and improvisation in her work. Shadra also offers beautiful insights into community, creativity, and the conversations families can have about instruments, music, and joining a band. In the second half, Jed welcomes Celina Frenn, author of the middle grade graphic novel Spy Grandma. Inspired by her very different real-life grandmothers, Celina introduces a tough-on-the-outside, gooey-on-the-inside grandma with a mysterious past as a spy. Celina explains how the story evolved from a TV pilot into a graphic novel and explores themes of trust, secrets, and building relationships across generations. She and Jed discuss the power of asking questions, co-reading graphic novels with kids, and using stories as a springboard for honest family conversations. Together, these conversations highlight how stories—and shared reading—can bring families closer, spark curiosity, and keep the music and memories going.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald, interviewed Curtis Symonds. Co-Founder and President of Allen Media Group's HBCU GO, discusses his recent Cable Hall of Fame induction, the growth of HBCU GO, and his vision for expanding awareness of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). The conversation explores his media career, relationships with industry pioneers Bob Johnson and Byron Allen, the cultural significance of HBCUs, and the opportunities surrounding HBCU sports and storytelling. Purpose of the Interview The interview was designed to: Celebrate Curtis Symonds' induction into the Cable Hall of Fame. Discuss the mission, growth, and future of HBCU GO. Highlight the educational, cultural, and economic importance of HBCUs. Promote HBCU football programming and upcoming events. Encourage greater corporate and community support for HBCU institutions and programming. Key Takeaways 1. Hall of Fame Recognition Reflects a Lifetime Career in Media Symonds described his Cable Hall of Fame induction as one of the most important moments of his career, particularly because BET founder Bob Johnson introduced him. He credited Johnson with teaching him how to build relationships, partnerships, and successful media businesses. Key Insight: Success in media is built on long-term relationships, trust, and vision. 2.

FAMU to the NBA: Erjaam Hayes' Nearly 20-Year Journey Behind the GameOn this episode of the Black in Sports Podcast, we sit down with Erjaam Hayes, Director of Engagement with the NBA, for a conversation about basketball, education, career growth, player development, and the business of professional sports.Growing up in a basketball household where education and HBCUs were celebrated, Erjaam's path eventually took him to Florida A&M University (FAMU) and, from there, into the NBA. What started as an internship grew into a career spanning nearly two decades with the NBA, with Erjaam taking on multiple roles and continuing to evolve along the way.But what does that journey actually look like?Erjaam takes us behind the scenes of his career—from getting his start with the NBA to navigating different opportunities within the league and discovering how each role helped prepare him for the next. He also talks about his experience working with the NBA G League and how that chapter contributed to his professional development.The conversation goes beyond basketball.Erjaam shares what he enjoys about helping NBA players develop off the court, while also discussing the NBA's broader programs and initiatives and the league's impact around the world—including efforts connected to NBA Africa, coaching, player development, and community engagement.We also explore an important question for anyone trying to build a career in sports:Is getting your foot in the door the hardest part—or is knowing how to grow once you're inside?From HBCUs and career development to NBA careers, player engagement, the G League, international basketball, and the business behind one of the world's biggest sports leagues, Erjaam provides insight into a career path that many aspiring sports professionals would love to understand.If you've ever wondered how people build long-term careers in professional sports, what opportunities exist beyond being an athlete, or how an internship can become a nearly 20-year journey inside the NBA, this conversation is for you.

Tennessee is dropping $280 million on a hotel and entertainment district next to Neyland Stadium while the coalition pushing the Protect College Sports Act, Ted Cruz, Nick Saban, Pat McAfee and now Deion Sanders, tells you college athletes are bankrupting the sport. Big Ten revenue is near $1.5 billion. Miami and Nike agreed to a 10 year deal worth more than $200 million. Ohio State's roster budget runs $54 million. Nobody is broke. The anti-NIL push is about restricting how much of that money reaches predominantly black rosters, and it keeps getting sold to the public through a rotating cast of black faces: Jay-Z during the anthem protests, an HBCU player, and now Deion Sanders fronting an unpaid ad. Colin Kaepernick's memoir tour lays out that pattern, including Robert Kraft confirming he blocked Macklemore over his Palestine comments.

Website - https://www.iamjameswilliams.comMeosha Bean sits down with James F. Williams of Dark Waters for a powerful conversation about his journey as a news commentator, producer, and content creator, his unique path into media, storytelling, faith, current events, and the experiences that shaped his voice and perspective. This conversation goes deeper than the headlines, exploring James' creative journey, digital media, Christian perspectives, storytelling, and what it takes to build an audience while staying true to your message. Watch and listen to the full conversation and hear James share his story in his own words.Follow Creator to Creators with Meosha Bean for more conversations with filmmakers, creators, entrepreneurs, artists, and people making an impact.BioHis unique journey began as an electrical engineering graduate from Southern University A&M College, the HBCU in Louisiana, before becoming a radio talk show host at WBOK 1230 AM in New Orleans. What sets James apart from other Christian commentators is his unexpected nine-year detour as a paranormal investigator and storyteller, where he became world renowned for his storytelling abilities while interviewing over 1,000 eyewitnesses to unexplained events and appearing on hundreds of podcasts and radio shows ranging from Coast to Coast AM to Darkness Radio. This intensive field research opened his eyes to the reality of spiritual warfare plaguing our modern world, ultimately leading to a powerful moment when the Lord Jesus Christ redirected his mission to focus on news and politics. Today, James brings an engineer's analytical mindset combined with hard-earned spiritual discernment to help believers understand the prophetic significance of current events. His background is unlike any other voice in Christian media - he's not someone who simply studied theology or politics, but rather someone who has witnessed firsthand the supernatural forces at work in our world before finding ultimate truth in Christ. This powerful testimony, combined with his technical expertise, broadcast experience, and massive engaged audience, makes him an compelling guest who can speak authoritatively on everything from Biblical prophecy in current politics to the spiritual battles manifesting in today's headlines. As both a published author and convention speaker, James is comfortable in any interview format and brings talking points that resonate deeply with Christian audiences seeking truth in an age of deception. His story of transformation - from documenting darkness to spreading the Light of Christ - offers hope and clarity to believers navigating these challenging times.

(25:18-40:03) – ESPN.com’s Stephen Holder joins Jake Query to continue the conversation about Charvarius Ward’s future after his comment yesterday about wearing the guardian cap. Jake asks Stephen what the team will do moving forward at linebacker after the lackluster showing against Baltimore from the two starters, how soon it is until CJ Allen will start playing, and the communication issues on defense in Cam Bynum’s first game as the play caller.

(45:06-1:13:25) – Indianapolis promoter Amp Harris joins Jake Query in the studio to discuss an upcoming event at Lucas Oil Stadium that he is a part of organizing. Jake asks Amp to explain the history of the Indiana Black Expo, why we need to explain the significance, and impact, of HBCU’s to all young people, and his thoughts on the Indianapolis Colts loss to the Baltimore Ravens. (1:13:25-1:26:43) – Former American Tennis Professional Rajeev Ram joins Query & Company to reflect on his career after competing for one final time last week. What went into the decision to retire? What city did he play in during his career that he wouldn’t mind living in? How did he become one of the top double’s players in the world during his career when he wasn’t one of the best individual players?

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Jasmine Young. Founder and President of the Financial Literacy Institute, joins Rushion McDonald to discuss her journey from a small rural town in Alabama to becoming a financial literacy advocate, entrepreneur, and community leader. The conversation focuses on education, financial empowerment, HBCUs, generational wealth, entrepreneurship, and the role economic power plays in creating social change. Purpose of the Interview The interview was designed to: Share Jasmine Young's personal story and professional journey. Highlight the importance of financial literacy and financial education. Promote entrepreneurship and wealth-building within underserved communities. Discuss the value and impact of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Raise awareness about the Black Wall Street Black Business Expo and its mission. Encourage individuals and families to build financial independence and generational wealth. Key Takeaways 1. Education Was Her Path to Opportunity Young grew up in rural Alabama and saw education as her pathway to a different future. She earned a full scholarship to Alabama A&M University and knew as early as high school that she wanted to become a CPA. Quote: "I knew that I was getting out, and I was going to use financial literacy as a way to do it." Her story demonstrates how education can create opportunities regardless of where someone begins. 2. HBCUs Build Confidence and Leadership Young credits Alabama A&M University with shaping her personally and professionally. She explains that being surrounded by Black excellence helped develop her confidence and prepared her for challenges she would face in the broader workforce. Quote: "Going to an HBCU was the best thing I ever did." She argues that HBCUs provide not only academic preparation but also practical life and leadership skills. 3. Financial Literacy Starts at Home One of the most compelling parts of the interview is Young's description of how her parents taught financial responsibility. Although her family lived in a rural area and did not appear wealthy by traditional standards, they taught budgeting, discipline, accountability, and long-term thinking. Examples included: Managing a weekly allowance. Paying for personal expenses. Learning to budget before adulthood. Understanding the value of money early. She believes these lessons created the foundation for her success. 4. Wealth Is More Than Appearances As a child, Young was embarrassed by her rural upbringing. Later, she realized her family possessed something far more valuable than appearances: land ownership, self-sufficiency, and financial wisdom. Her family owned more than 78 acres of land and lived off resources available on their property. She learned that true wealth is often found in assets, knowledge, and long-term planning rather than outward displays of success. 5. Financial Literacy Is Her Purpose Young explains that her passion for numbers eventually became her life mission. Through the Financial Literacy Institute, she works to increase financial knowledge and help families improve their economic outcomes. Quote: "My passion for financial literacy was actually my purpose." Her goal is to spread financial literacy one family at a time. 6. Economic Power Creates Social Change A major theme of the interview is that financial empowerment and social justice are closely connected. Young argues that communities gain influence when they build wealth, support businesses strategically, and leverage their spending power. She believes economic participation is one of the most effective ways to create meaningful change. Quote: "The way for us to move the needle economically is we have to be civically engaged." 7. The Legacy of Black Wall Street Matters Today Young created the Black Wall Street Black Business Expo to honor the entrepreneurs and wealth-builders of Tulsa's Greenwood District while encouraging modern business owners to continue that legacy. She views the event as both a celebration of Black excellence and a call to action. Key goals include: Supporting Black-owned businesses. Building generational wealth. Strengthening communities through entrepreneurship. Encouraging civic and economic engagement. 8. Your Environment Does Not Define Your Potential Throughout the interview, Young challenges stereotypes about people from rural communities. She demonstrates that success is not determined by geography, background, or circumstances but by education, discipline, opportunity, and persistence. Her story serves as an example that individuals can achieve significant success regardless of where they start. Notable Quotes On education and opportunity "I knew that I was getting out, and I was going to use financial literacy as a way to do it." On HBCUs "Going to an HBCU was the best thing I ever did." On financial literacy "My passion for financial literacy was actually my purpose." On her upbringing "My parents gave my brother and me a basic foundation of how to be a responsible financial adult." On economic empowerment "The way for us to move the needle economically is we have to be civically engaged." On wealth-building "We've done it before, and Black Wall Street is an example of it." On leveraging economic power "The answer to all our social injustice issues is recirculating the Black dollar in our community." Overall Assessment The interview is a powerful discussion about financial literacy, education, entrepreneurship, generational wealth, and community advancement. Jasmine Young presents a compelling example of how discipline, education, and financial knowledge can transform lives. Her message is that true empowerment begins with understanding money, building assets, supporting community businesses, and using economic influence to create lasting social and financial change. The central theme is that financial literacy is not just about money. It is a tool for freedom, opportunity, and generational impact. #SHMS #BEST #STRAW Money Making Conversations Master Class with Rushion McDonald is America's premier entrepreneurship, business leadership, financial literacy, and wealth-building podcast featuring successful entrepreneurs, executives, founders, celebrities, and industry experts sharing actionable insights for professional and financial success.
